He has worked with leaders at Google, Cisco, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Microsoft, OppenheimerFunds, Deloitte and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. (Don't tell the others, but St. Jude is his favorite client. You should give to St. Jude. They are amazing.)

Over the past decade, he has worked with leaders in more than 40 countries. He co-founded Sapien Experience, a new company that creates learning experiences built around computer-based simulations.

He has an MBA from Duke University, but he lives in Chapel Hill, NC, where his three daughters keep him learning and laughing. (He doesn't have a favorite daughter.) Want to know more details about Jake's background? Seriously?
